Looking for some help please, with my new-to-me S5. I want to root it, mostly so that I can restore Titanium backup from my S4, but probably to install CM12 too. I have installed (and uninstalled, rebooted, installed, rebooted, many times) the latest Samsung drivers e.g. Samsung_USB_Driver_v1.5.51.exe, I have tried installing Kies3, I have tried different USB cables, I have tried my Win7x64 laptop, my wife's Winx64 PC; none of them will show the phone in Windows Explorer.
I did try it on a very old laptop (Core solo) that happens to have a play copy of Win8.1, and it worked! I then tried to use Odin v1.85 and Odin v3.09 to push CF-Auto-Root, and it always ended with Odin "Not responding" - presumably because the laptop doesn't have the guts.
I did put Win10 preview on a spare hard drive in my laptop, but no joy after installing Samsung_USB_Driver_v1.5.51.exe. Under Win7 I had tried older versions of the drivers too.
Ant bright ideas please??
TIA

Kies will install the correct drivers so uninstall Kies completely, reboot your PC then install it again, check for updates and if any update kies then run it.
When it is running plug in your phone to a USB port that is directly on the PC not via any hubs and you must use the cable that came with the S5, other cables will not work correctly, make sure it installs the drivers at this set up.
Windows does not necessarily install the correct drivers, you need to go to My Computer > properties >. device manager and find your device in the list it should be shown as Android Mobile Phone if that is there then make sure the installed drivers are Samsung Android ADB Interface, if it isn't showing this driver them change it.
The other option if you have the Samsung drivers installed is to plug in the phone check in Device Manager on your PC and find your phone then check and change the drivers.
Turn off any firwall whilst you do this as that can block the device as well
Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I had tried the original Samsung cable as well as others. Plugged straight into a ThinkPad, no USB hub.
Uninstalled Kies and the Samsung driver package, rebooted, installed Kies, checked for updates (none), and - Nothing. Nothing in Device Manager, nothing in the Safely Remove Hardware tray applet. Nothing in the notification area of the phone. The firewall was disabled for all of that post-reboot.
It's driving me mad...
I do eventually get a USB Device Not Recognised popup with Unknown Device shown in the window. By now, there is also an Unknown Device showing in Device Manager under Universal Serial Bus Controllers. I could Update Driver, but unsurprisingly Windows can't find one. My only other option would be to use the Have Disc option, but only if I had the right .inf file... :crying:
"None of them will show the phone in windows explorer"
You know you need to put the phone into download mode to use ODIN?
It won't show in explorer when you do that, but ODIN should say it is connected
And use the latest version of ODIN you can find, 3.09 should work, 3.10.6 is latest

Thanks for replying. Yes, I have tried plugging in with it in download mode and using Odin, but it wasn't showing the COM port, so it wasn't recognised using that either. I even tried pushing CF Auto Root, but of course it failed.
It sounds like the cables you've tried are faulty, so long as the phone USB port is not
Multiple PCs say to me it's not a PC issue
The samsung drivers just need installing with the installer, don't worry about manually installing them, once you have working USB cables/port it will install them automatically so long as you ran the installer
Have you attempted to use different USB ports on the computer you are using? Contrary to what Detection has said, the fact that you can get it working on another computer with all of your cables does point to this being a PC problem and not a cable problem. My suggestion would be to completely uninstall Kies, keep it uninstalled, use different USB ports and allow windows to install the drivers itself.
On various occasions, removing Kies has worked, and on another it was the USB port that I was using that was the problem.
OP said he tried two different Win 7 PCs before trying the 8.1 laptop on which he had partial success
My guess is if he is constantly moving the cables from PC to PC, if they are faulty, bending them around is possibly making the connection by the time it ended up on the laptop it recognised the phone from, like when your charger cable breaks inside and you have to wiggle it around to make a connection
But as he also said, it failed to work even on that - so that's 3 machines, one partially recognised the phone - Id say the chances of it being a bad USB port over 3 machines, or even bad machines are very slim
Bad phone USB port or bad cables is my guess
Either that, or Win 7 isn't playing nice with the phone/drivers
I remember reading somewhere that with windows 7, you have to run odin as an administrator......also remember reading that it's not just the firewall you have to disable, but the anti virus as well......It may not help to uninstall kies as this *may* remove the Samsung drivers. Probably be better to leave it installed, but to use windows task manager to kill any running kies processes before you start odin up, as (from what I've read ) kies will interfere with odin.......
And for info.......odin 3.09 is the version I have successfully used on my phone.
Sent from my rooted kn0x0 stocKK SM-G900F S5
Thanks for all your replies while I was asleep.
I have used multiple USB ports on the 2 Win7 machines, multiple cables including the one that came with the phone. When I dropped the firewall, it was f/w and AV as it's one program (Symantec) (corporate laptop, not locked down). I have tried running Odin as administrator. If it wasn't for the fact that it did work on the ancient Win8.1 laptop, I would have thought the problem was with the phone port, but I could see it in Windows AND Odin displayed the COM port - it was just that Odin then went "Not responding"... which I assume was a system performance issue...
I will have another try tonight with yet more cables and I must have some USB ports I haven't tried yet... None of it makes sense and I am not a noob.
Edit: This is all having a negative effect on my laptop too - I used to be able to see internal and ext SD on my S4 in windows explorer - at the bottom of the right pane it had i9505 then you saw a folder for each SD. Now I just see ext SD as a drive letter.
Try this:
Install or just use the portable version of "Ghostbuster"
http://ghostbuster.codeplex.com/
Unplug all USB devices from the machine other than K&M
Run Ghostbuster as Admin
On the first device listed of each section, right click and choose "Add Class"
That should highlight the entries in that class and flag the ghost entries
Do that for every section until you have them all highlighted
Now click "Remove Ghosts" at the bottom and let it do it's thing
That will remove all non connected USB devices and their drivers
Once it's done - reinstall Samsung drivers just using the normal installer
Plug phone in and see if you get any better luck with it being detected

Thanks Detection, I hadn't come across that before. It deleted LOADS of ghosts... ...but unfortunately it hasn't moved me on at all. Still nothing in WinExplore, no COM ports in Odin. I am somehow jinxed, or rather this S5 is.
Edit: Just did it all again with a couple of reboots for luck - no better.

Open up the Device Manager on your PC then plug in your phone and look for any new connections to appear in the USB controllers list there may be Unknown device or another named device if you see a new connection unplug the phone and check the list again to see if it has disappear from the USB list, if you see a USB device appear and disappear from the list as you unplug and plug in the phone this is the one you want.
Right click on this and select Update Driver Software, click Browse My Computer then click Let me pick from a list, if you have the Samsung drivers installed on your PC you should see one or more called Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device, select the most up to date version if you have more than one listed and install that.
If you don't see the Samsung USB drivers un-tick the box that says Show compatible hardware, scroll down the list to the left and find Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, there will be more than one, click on each one until you see Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device in the right window, then click on that and install it.
You will get a warning saying that changing the driver may cause the device to not work properly just click OK and install the driver, if it works the USB device in the list should change to Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device.
Try this and see if it gets you sorted manually but don't forget to make sure you have installed the Samsung drivers on your PC first

Thanks, I will give that a go, though it will not be until Saturday as I don't have the phone with me. I am pretty sure that it does appear / disappear in Device Manager, and I did look at manually updating from there, so your suggestions should be helpful.

When I manually select the Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device, I always get "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device. This device cannot start. (Code 10)", so I am still stuck...

There are a couple of things you can try as Windows is preventing the installation.
1. Control Panel > Devices & Printers then plug in your phone and you should get an Unknown Device appear, right click on it and select Troubleshoot and run that process to see if that sorts out the problem.
2. Start your computer in safe mode then try installing the driver manually that way, then reboot your PC normally.
I had this error message last year with something I was trying to install but I can't remember just how I sorted it out.

Okay, So I bought this new Nexus 7 about a week ago. It was used but the person I bought it from was trustworthy. It came pre-rooted and unlocked. Anyways, my Windows 8 laptop WILL NOT recognize it no matter what I do.
Let me start off by saying, I am no novice to Android. My main device is a Verizon Galaxy s4, and it was the S3 before that. Both phones I did lots of modding and theming on them, and always running a custom rom. I have adb installed and working on my computer as well.
Now the problem. When I plug in my Nexus into my laptop, nothing happens. It doesn't make the usual windows device plugged in sound or anything, and it doesn't show up as a drive in Windows explorer. Even if I open up the device manager and then plug in my Nexus nothing shows up. Not even the "device not recognized" thing. Nor do I get a notification in the Nexus statusbar saying it's plugged in as a media device.. Though the battery DOES charge.
I have tried enabling usb debugging and toggling back and forth from MTP to PTP and still nothing. Tried it w/out USB debugging as well. Nothing.
Tried plugging it in while in fastboot.. Nothing.
I even downloaded the Google drivers through the Android SDK manager and since it doesn't show up as any device in device manager I can't uninstall them and update with the new drivers. This is soo soo sooo frustrating. Obviously it was able to connect to a computer at some point because they rooted and unlocked it, but now I get nothing. I've tried 4 or 5 different computers, Windows 7 AND Windows 8. And even more USB cables.
Can somebody please please shed some light on this?
It's soo frustrating not being able to use ADB with my new device or even do simple file transfers. Right now I'm using Airdroid to move files around but it's agonizingly slow and worthless for moving big files like Roms and whatnot.
And before you say it.. YES I have searched and found no definitive answers even though I KNOW other people have had this problem.
Someone help please?
C'mon... Somebody..:? Anybody?
Try this. Plug it in via USB as you would. Then unlock your nexus 7 and it should up, works for me lol.

Tried this too. I've been using the new factory cable and it doesn't work. I've tried five different cables and different usb ports. Also tried factory resetting and different roms as well.
Couple of things to try:
1 - Go through Device manager (Start -> Right Click My Computer -> Manage) - And remove anything and everything to do with Android, or Nexus etc.
2 - Plug in device, if nothing happens right click The top of "Device Manager" - Which should be your computer name - And click "Scan for hardware changes"
If this doesn't work, try to download WugFresh ToolKit, and install the drivers through his ToolKit, I had issues like this when I first got my Nexus, trying all different things and random drivers, my only way to fix it was going through WugFresh toolkit and downloading his drivers. CLICK HERE FOR THE TOOLKIT
Good luck

Thanks alot man. I do have Wigfreshes toolkit, i just haven't really done much with it. I will try all this when I get home though. Sounds like a good method to try. The device came pre-rooted and unlocked, all I had to do was flash recovery through goo. I'm running Vanilla root box night lies and they are great. I'm just really worried about getting in a bootloop or softbricked since there is no battery to pull, and i can't connect to my computer to unbrick. If it happens I'll be waaaay up the creek with no hope for a paddle.
Thanks alot.
Here is the latest Android Composite ADB Interface Driver straight from SDK instead of toolkit.

If you are worried about ROM failing, installing MultiRom is highly recommended. Not indifferent to partitioning a hard drive and installing multiple operating systems on a PC, MultiRom is indispensable when experimenting. If one ROM doesn't boot, simply boot from another or to your stock rooted.

Haha, thanks for the help, but I wish it were that simple. It was a first Gen Nexus7 by the way too.
I'm no novice to the ways of Android, and i tried everything under the sun to get it to work. Nothing Would make it show up on the computer.
Anyways, it just ended up turning off one day (with a fully charged battery too) and wouldn't turn back on. I ended up calling Asus and they repaired it for me. It had a burnt out USB port. They fixed it and it's up and running fine now.
Long story short, be careful what you buy on eBay one, and two, Asus has EXCELLENT customer support. From the day I called them to the time I got it back fully repaired only took 7 days exactly. And I didnt have to pay for shipping. If you ever have a problem with an Asus product don't hesitate to call them.
I just solved my problem. The Nexus 7 was not showing up in the device manager and windows explorer. Once usb plugged it would charge but do nothing.. In device manager I found "ACER Composite ADB Interface". I googled it and this is the problem. apparently Windows update install this thing but it doesn't work with the Nexus 7. You have to uninstall it (don't forget to check the delete from computer box or else it will reinstall itself). Then look for this : ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface Driver 8.0.0.1 for Windows 7 64-bit and download it.(sorry I can't post links)
Now with your Nexus 7 plugged in update your driver by selecting the browse my computer option and locate the file you just downloaded and there you go it should work. After months of searching it's finally working. :victory:
I use the Stock ROM, Kernel, when I plug in the USB, there are nothing happen in my PC.
I've tried differen USB port, different cable and different PC. i can charge, but PC cannot read my Nexus
Also, I've tried to enable and dsiable the USB debug, the MTP/ also useless.....:crying:
I know this issue. Sometimes my PC also wont recognized my Nexus. I switch between mtp and ptp a few times while connected to the pc and and plug the cable in and out and after some times it works again.
But to be sure, all necessary driver are installed and there is this sound, when you connect the nexus to your pc?

Have you tried to do a factory reset? If not make a backup and go for a try.
Backup without a USB connection can be done through bluetooth (sloooow) or Wifi (much faster than bluetooth). I like to copy large files to/from my N4 with ES File Explorer.

A thought just came to me: have you tried to look for the device while it is at the bootloader screen or at recovery mode?
If not, give it a try:
note: while at the bootloader screen the touchscreen does not respond, this is by design – or lack thereof. to manipulate you can swith options with volume up or volume down and choose an option with the power button. to quit this screen use the volume rockers to choose "Start" or "Power off". The former will resume the normal boot sequence while the later will, as you should expect, turn off the device.
1. turn off and unplug the device, if it is pluged.
2. hold down volume down and power. keep holding until it vibrates or you se the big open android with lots of text information. this is the bootloader screen.

You should be seen something like this - Nexus 4 bootloader screen
3. now plug the device to the computer. it should recognize the device and eventually install/apply some drivers.
If that happened and the device got recognized by the PC you can do the next step: go to the recovery mode. To do this follow on.
4. using the volume rockers choose the "Recovery mode" option and with the power button choose it.
You will see something like this - Nexus 4 stock recovery mode
If that happened you should get the device recognized again and new drivers installed.
If this happens we will be very close to be able to use the USB to copy the backup to the PC. Let us know if all goes as planned.
To quit the recovery mode just press and hold the power button until the device turns off, 5 to 10 seconds.

I've tried before. no response......
So I'm pretty sure that the USB function is gone....
got to admit it sounds like there are some good ideas here but you seem to be sure that your phone usb port is done. Ok if this is the issue you can always use ES File Explorer and share the folder you want on your pc and use the LAN function on ES explorer to transfer files over wifi.
Secondly I had a similar issue and download minimal adb and fastboot which found drivers for me to use adb on my phone which again will help you transfer files. Hopefully you dont respond to me like others with I tried that already.... LOL

yes I think my USB PORT is done too. so I decide to repair it by myself because the fee is about HKD $200...:crying:
In case you want to give it one last shot i had a similar problem when i first purchased my nexus 4.
The first time I connected it to the PC (Windows 7) I had USB debugging enabled and it recognized it (I.E made the sound when connecting it and started charging it) but could not access the storage via MTP or Camera. When turning off USB debugging I could access it as a camera but not as Media storage. I kept installing and uninstalling the USB drivers in windows. Eventually after many attempts causing frustration to build up, I clicked on cancel on the installing drivers and to my amazement the PC recognized it as MTP and I could transfer files. To this day I continue to use the same configuration and have not touched the drivers.
I don't know how or why this worked, I just know that it did.
Good Luck.

Whenever I connect my phone to my computer via USB, it says "USB Device not recognized". I look in my device manager and I see 4 devices come up called "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" show up under "Other devices", yet they got yellow warning symbols next to them.
My phone connects to my PC via Bluetooth fine, but the USB just wont work! I've searched the web but most things are outdated or just don't work...
I think this is due to using an OTG cable, making my phone act as the host device whenever I plug it in?
Extra detail:
-PC is running Windows 7 ultimate x64
-Samsung Galaxy S5 is on Android 5.0, but didn't work on previous versions either
-I use the samsung cable, but have also tried one other cable.
-Tried plugging it into another computer, does the exact same thing.

Thank you for the great help, I think that this is what needs to be done to fix it. There is still one problem though.
I have tried this before, but I ran into a problem where it would do this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

As you can see, it wont let me use the driver, saying that there is a "code 10" and that the driver wont start. I think that if I can get through this error, my phone will finally connect

Try these options,
1. Control Panel > Devices & Printers then plug in your phone and you should get an Unknown Device appear, right click on it and select Troubleshoot and run that process to see if that sorts out the problem.
2. Start your computer in safe mode then try installing the driver manually that way, then reboot your PC normally.
Registry solution if you want to try it as long as you understand Windows Registry
1. Go to the Registry Editor click Start > Run > and type in regedit then hit Enter
2. Expand the folder location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\
3. Find EEC5AD98-8080-425f-922A-DABF3DE3F69A in the folder list and click on it, this should say Portable Devices in the right window
4. See if it contains a value called UpperFilters if so delete it
5. Before you delete it though make a backup of the EEC5AD98-8080-425f-922A-DABF3DE3F69A folder, right click on it and Export to a folder just in case you need to restore it.
6. To restore the key if you need to just go to the folder where you exported it to and click on it to install

Sorry for the late reply, ive been busy.
There is no UpperFilters value, and unfortunately the troubleshoot didnt resolve the problem.

You are having a problem with this aren't you.
If you have Kies installed uninstall it also plug in your phone and find it in the list of USB Devices, then right click select properties and uninstall the driver, unplug the phone and reboot your PC.
Once rebooted Temporarily turn off any firewalls and Anti Virus scanners and try the below
Install Kies 3, start Kies and check for updates, if there are any updates then install them.
Restart Kies 3 after any update, once its running plug in your phone and let the drivers install
If its worked properly Kies will see it, if not then check the USB devices and try to install the driver manually again
Don't forget to use the USB cable that came with the phone

hi,
im having issues installing drivers for my oneplus 2 device.
here's what i've tried doing:
iv'e tried connecting the device with usb debugging and without. without usb debugging it finds the name of the device normally.
the first thing i've done is uninstall every driver that was resembled any phone, google or usb storage driver.
and tried to install the drivers from this tool: (which i think is the source of my problem i dont know how to remove this.)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
it went ok with no problems, but it didn't find my device. (when i typed adb devices)
i've uninstalled the drivers again via programs and features and usbdeview tool (this time i've found older samsung device driver from regedit and removed it also).
rebooted (as every step of driver removal and install).
i've tried again with no luck.
so i've decided to install those drivers from the android sdk but when i've tried to install it from the device manager it shows up this:
i also tried downloading samsung drivers to see if it works. i saw in one of the threads that said it's ok to use them because they were universal too. (i removed it again from the regedit when i couldn't find the drivers)
i tried to use the oneplus one toolkit's for it's universal driver i thought maybe it will work
how can i fix this? i want to start over again clean. i can't find it in USBdeview or programs and features or regedit. what am i missing?
the photos are after trying to install the drivers from the sdk tool and uninstall it back with reboots several times now
+as im seeing in other threads, it supposed to be an android device and not adb interface.
+there is nothing else in the driver selection list that resembles any device
thanks to everyone who helps!
EDIT:
whatever i did i couldn't remove this marshall driver and i really don't know how i got it there. so i decided to format my pc. start over clean.
i've downloaded the sdk tools this time and before connecting my phone to the pc (maybe the windows 10 has to do anything with installing these marshall drivers.) i have installed these drivers from the sdk, rebooted the pc and connected the device. now everything works! the cmd find my device i type "adb reboot" to make sure everything works BUT when i go into fastboot mode (in order to unlock the bootloader)
the pc doesn't recognize the device. it says "android" with an question mark icon near it, ok so i just need to install the driver like in image #1 right? so i did, and it didn't show up this android adb interface driver. instead i've found this marshall driver AGAIN! i went inside it and i'm seeing marshall drivers and google inc drivers INSIDE this marshall driver selection (like image#2)
i really don't know from where this marshall london device is coming from
although setting it up as the marshall device, it works... but it's a marshall device not my oneplus 2
this doesn't make any sense to me. i never owned marshall product, beforehand i guessed it came from the toolkits i installed but this time i went clean and there's no way it came from those toolkits.
if im unclear about anytning im willing to share my teamviewer or screenshots.
this how it looks like:
EDIT2:
Q: what if i decide to ignore that marshall device? because it seems to find the device and im able to reboot from the commands. is it ok? should i ignore the name?
Hi, I used Universal ADB drivers.
I had to manually chose the .inf file with the have disk feature to make it work.
I used the Oneplus two toolbox to install my drivers.
forums.oneplus.net/threads/oneplus-2-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-custom-recovery-root-efs-backup-more.345478
I didn't even bother with the 15 second ADB installer.
've found the problem.
apparently the drivers name was "marshall london device". i accidently clicked on it and there was an option to choose adb interface driver (like the image #2)
EDIT:
well it worked for the first try and it stopped working.
what is marshall london device? it seems to have a bunch of drivers like clockworkmod and marshall composite adb interface

i still don't get what that driver is doing in my pc
i can't install the inf file it tells me it's not supported.
for some retarded reason the usb drivers that i downloaded from google are being installed into marshall device. i don't know why but it's the second time my pc thinks my phone is a marshall device. it works if i type adb reboot, but only once. now i have to delete this marshall thingy that i don't even know how the hell it got there...
anything?
i really need help, i think i've made this problem as clear as possible.
Bump! same problem. This all happened as soon as i installed the latest version of OS. Oxygen 2.1 . Adb worked perfectly before i flashed this new OS. now windows wont read the devices with adb drivers. it keeps saying Marshall London Device.. sigh.. anybody? i tried all the same things in this thread to fix it. I also wiped all drivers using USBDeview and reinstalled to no avail.

before that what did it detect? the device name? or adb interface?
are you running windows 10?
i managed to ignore the name of the driver because like the third image i posted says that inside the marshall driver there is "google inc" and then that the adb driver...
so i think it's windows 10 that's causing this. but i've tried ignoring it and adb commands are working for me. i don't know whether it's safe to unlock and such but i managed to make it reboot into recovery...
I am running windows 10. I tried another computer of mine with windows 7 which worked perfectly before the new OS update. That computer as well cannot detect any ADB devices. I managed to get windows to install the proper ADB Android drivers in windows 10 and 7 now. However, whenever I load One plus 2 into Fastboot Mode windows DOES detect the device but ADB wont connect to it.
I have made sure that i am in debugging mode and that I authorized the connection when prompted. any ideas?
Thank you

Figured out why adb wouldnt connect. Even though usb debugging was on and permissions granted for some reason the Developer Mode toggle was hidden again. I enabled the toggle again, turned off usb debugging mode. Turned it back on 10 seconds later and it all works now. *sigh*

Hi there,
my problem is very similar to this.
Suddenly all my android devices (OPO and OP2) are recognized as marshall london devices.
adb devices finds them but I am not able to get the authorization of my PC showing up on my phones.
adb tells me the device is not authorized.
I tried resetting the usb authorization from the development options, changing usb ports, changing cables, disabling and enabling of usb debugging, mtp mode and such.
Nothing works so far. The google adb drivers show up under the marshall london category like in the first post. It all startet after I rebooted the OP2 in fastboot once.
Any ideas?
Thanks
-howgie
Update:
I was able to get rid of the marshall london entry by removing it from the registry manually. But the problem of the unauthorized device remains...
I am also getting this error, I was able to select google devices before and had adb working but after it unlocked the bootloader and rebooted the phone it wasn't detecting anything correctly, just the marshal london device and adb doesn't detect anything, also on windows 10. Will try tomorrow on my windows 7 work machine.
Same Problem! Please Help!
For some reason "Marshall London Device>Marshall London Bootloader Interface" keeps installing itself every-time I hit Scan for hardware changes, after trying to uninstall it. ADB doesn't recognize my OPT even when my phone is in fastboot mode. Running Windows10
In windows 10 use manual choose driver from list, then choose proper driver.... If you can't find it I'll post screens tomorrow

I have same problems. Have someone found a solution for this?
I deleted all drivers and it says unknown USB device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). I can't get it to install Oneplus2 drivers, Android ADB or Samsung drivers and be recognised.
Again I concur and think this is a Windows 10 issue, I am not using the official cable, are others using it and having the same issue??
I used a different cable and it worked, strange as I tried one unofficial and one official and in the end my new Anker one I just purchased worked okay.

trying to get some help for my ZE551ML 4gb - unrooted and with the latest update
I have never had an issue plugging my phone into my pc and transferring files. I bought my daughter a BLU R1HD and that wont wont show up on any pc when plugged into USB...yes dev and debug is enabled.....installed a bunch of different drivers to try to get that phone to work and it wont....
but worse is now my phone wont show up.
I went to the main thread here and located drivers and installed, and nothing....went to asus support and dl drivers and nothing...
does anyone know why or how i can get the drivers installed on my W10 PC so I can plug phone into usb and transfer files?
In the pc's device manager, is the device listed there? And is there a yellow mark on the device name? Maybe the drivers didn't install properly, you can right click on the device and click update driver, then choose automatically, you must be connect to the internet for it to find the required driver and install automatically.
I had same issue. Makw sure phone is not. Plugged into the pc. Load up windows into safe mode with networking. Once there open device manager. From the pulldown menu choose show hidden devices then find the Asus drivers and uninstall and if available tick the box that says delete the driver.. reboot, reinstall.... Done.
This will work for most usb devices that are having issues.

sadly this did not work. I grabbed the drivers from the ZF2 resource thread here at XDA
https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices
for the BLU R1HD I was told to install these
https://androidmtk.com/download-mtk-usb-all-drivers
whih i did and also uninstalled and resinstalled along with the intel drivers.
I did exactly as explained above and the device will not show up.
I have the Z00AD -- ZE551ML -- 4GB/2.3GHz 64gb version running Stock OS with NO ROOT - an its up to date (v 40.194)
I attached screen shot to show what I have going on - thanks

Are you using the same cord for both phones with the computer? If so, try a different cord

Reboot the pc with the "disable driver signature verification" option and then reinstall the drivers.
This may or may not have some relevance to your problem. Try downloading a program called USB Device Viewer, run it as an administrator and uninstall all the phone drivers that are listed. Reboot your computer, plug your ZE551ML in and let it install the drivers. Hope this is of some help.
i finally fixed this bs problem. simply a matter of device manager >>>> portable devices >>>>> right click >>> update drive>>> browse my computer >>> Let me pick>>>
for me i had

MTP USB Device
